Two concerts are scheduled for this weekend in the "Cycle Beethoven" programme by the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Marek Janowski and featuring Rundfunkchor Berlin (broadcast choir from Berlin). Both concerts are at the Grimaldi Forum with the first taking place on Saturday June 4 starting at 8.30pm.
